Hume divides all propositions into two parts: the relations of ideas and matters of fact. He considers the first part certain and matters of fact that makes us aware of the future and can take us beyond sensory perception are uncertain. He believes all reasoning about matters of fact is based on the relation of cause and effect and the principle of uniformity of nature. Based on his especial epistemology, argues that the principle of causality is a mental habit and the principle of uniformity of nature is matter of facts must be proved by experience that its proof and argument is probable that leads to a circle and ultimately expresses his skepticism. Commentators of transcendent wisdom based on the intuitive knowledge of the soul in its own works and actions, proved the idea of causality. They have discussed the unity of sensory and sensible theory, along with the principle of self-evident of causality that these theories only explain the origin of the concept of causality and its generality. However, the main question is how can causality be attributed to objective instances? In response, we have discussed the combination and sum of reason and sense using the experimental method.

Abstract It is increasingly difficult after Ibn ʿArabī (d. 638/1240) to differentiate the aims of the Sufis from those of the philosophers. Mullā Ṣadrā (d. 1050/1640) offers a fine example of a thinker who synthesized the Sufi and philosophical methodologies in his voluminous writings. In Arrivers in the Heart he combines the precision of philosophical reasoning with the recognition (maʿrifa) of God and self that was central to the concerns of the Sufi teachers. In forty “effusions” (fayḍ) of mostly rhymed prose, he provides epitomes of many of the themes that he addresses in his long books. These include the concept and reality of existence, the Divine Essence and Attributes, God’s omniscience, theodicy, eschatology, the worlds of the cosmos, spiritual psychology, divine and human love, disciplining the soul, and the nature of human perfection.

Meta-ethics is an important and fundamental part of ethical philosophy. Normative ethics discusses the ethical criterion and definition of happiness and obligation; but Meta-ethics deals with its background. In other words, it puts ethical propositions into philosophical questions in terms of meaning, cognition, and truth. In the intellectual system of transcendent wisdom, metaphysical issues and sheer philosophy are studied in order to help human beings to develop and transcend. In fact, human ethics and transcendence along with theology are two main goals of transcendent wisdom. In this regard, it is important to understand Mulla Sadra's views on meta-ethics as well as to discover and deduce it among Mulla Sadra's philosophical views. While defining meta-ethics, explaining its domains and asking main questions about each of these domains, the method of comparative study is used in this paper in order to provide the most appropriate and consistent possible answers to questions in the realm of meta-ethics - based on Mulla Sadra's views on the originality of existence Substantial motion and Union of Intelligent and Intelligible and so on.

AbstractThe integration of science and religion is an integrative-holistic integration meaning the existence of general science and religious studies depend on each other. The form of general science and religion with all their forms and character is essentially one and the same, what distinguishes it one from another is just the gradation (tashkīk al-form) caused by differences in the essence. Mulla Sadra thoughts on the integration of science is embodied in the principle of Tawheed, then it is necessary to build an integrative educational concept of Islamic education that is designed as an education that is truly holistic and integrated in terms of vision, content, structure and processes and well integrated in its approach to the curriculum (how and what to teach), integrated knowledge and practice, applications and services. This holistic education includes philosophical and methodological concepts that are structured and coherent to the understanding of the world and all aspects of life. Religious knowledge based on revelation (the Qur’an and al-Hadith) is qauliyyah verses and general sciences based on senses, reasoning against natural phenomena is kauniyyah verses. AbstrakIntegrasi ilmu dan agama adalah integrasi yang bersifat integratif-holistik yaitu, eksistensi ilmu umum dan ilmu agama saling bergantung satu sama lain. Eksistensi (wujūd)yang ada pada pelajaran umum dan agama dengan segala bentuk dan karakternya pada hakikatnya adalah satu dan sama, yang membedakan satu dari yang lainnya hanyalah gradasinya (tashkīk al-wujūd) yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan dalam esensinya.pemikiran Mullā Sadrā tentang integrasi keilmuan yang tertuang dalam prinsip Tauḥid, maka untuk membangun pendidikan integratif diperlukan Konsep pendidikan Islam yang dirancang sebagai pendidikan yang benar-benar holistik dan terpadu. Holistik dalam hal visi, isi, struktur dan proses. Terpadu dalam pendekatannya baik terhadap kurikulum (bagaimana dan apa yang harus diajarkan), pengetahuan yang menyatupadukan dengan praktik, aplikasi dan pelayanan. Pendidikan holistik inilah mencakup konsep filosofis maupun metodologis yang terstruktur dan koheren kepada pemahaman terhadap dunia dan seluruh aspek kehidupan. Ilmu-ilmu agama yang berbasis pada wahyu (al-Qur’ān dan al-Ḥadith) sebagai ayat-ayat qauliyyah dan ilmu-ilmu umum berbasis pada akal, penalaran terhadap fenomena alam sebagai ayat-ayat kauniyyah.
